- a user can fold one or more of the pairs of retention flaps 103 , 105 downwardly relative to the front extension panel 25 at respective fold lines 107 , 109 into the interior chamber 136 such that one or more holders 21 that are at least partially defined by the shoulder 20 and that extend into the interior chamber 136 are accessible.
- the holders 21 can include the retention flaps 103 , 105 , and can additionally include portions of the interior chamber 136 .
- the carton 15 includes a first holder 21 and a second holder 21 , though a different number of holders can be provided without departing from the disclosure.
- the holders 21 provide convenient locations for one or more accessories for the one or more food products F, for example, a container C.
- the containers C can be partially recessed within the respective holders 21 such that the containers C or other accessories are at least partially disposed in the interior chamber 136 of the shoulder 20 , and edge portions of the containers C, such as flanges or rims R, can rest upon the front extension panel 25 such that the containers C are suspended above the bottom panel 29 of the carton 15 for convenient access by a customer.
- the retention flaps 103 , 105 can be disposed adjacent and in generally parallel relation to the sides of the containers C, for example, to provide support and stability for the containers C.
- a user can dip or scoop one or more of the food products F into one or more of the containers C prior to consuming or serving one or more of the food products F.
- one or both of the holders 21 can be configured as openings formed in the front extension panel 25 , such that one or both of the retention flaps 103 , 105 could be omitted without departing from the disclosure.
- carton 15 can be formed, closed, and/or opened by other alternative methods and steps without departing from the disclosure.
- a blank 213 for forming a carton according to a third exemplary embodiment of the disclosure is illustrated.
- the blank 213 and the carton formed therefrom may have substantially similar features as the blank 13 and carton 15 ( FIGS. 1, 6 ) of the first exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, but the lid panel 37 may be devoid of a lock, such as the lock 129 of the first exemplary embodiment, and the front extension flap 23 may be devoid of a tab (such as the tab 123 of the first exemplary embodiment) for forming an opening for receiving a lock.
- a carton formed from the blank 213 can maintain closure of the lid 19 relative to the base 17 via engagement of the respective ledges 26 , 28 with the respective extensions 86 , 88 , as described above.
- the carton 10 may have substantially similar features as the blank 13 and the carton 15 ( FIGS. 1 and 6 ) of the first exemplary embodiment described herein, but may have a single central holder 21 with retention flaps 103 , 105 formed in the shoulder 20 . It will be understood that a different number and/or arrangement of retention flaps and holders can be provided without departing from the disclosure.
- the blanks described herein may be constructed from paperboard having a caliper so that it is heavier and more rigid than ordinary paper.
- the blanks can also be constructed of other materials, such as cardboard, sheet plastics or any other material having properties suitable for enabling the cartons to function at least generally as described above.
- the blanks can be coated with, for example, a clay coating.
- the clay coating may then be printed over with product, advertising, and other information or images.
- the blanks may then be coated with a varnish to protect information printed on the blanks.
- the blanks may also be coated with, for example, a moisture barrier layer, on either or both sides of the blanks.
- the blanks can also be laminated to or coated with one or more sheet-like materials at selected panels or panel sections.
- a tear line can include: a slit that extends partially into the material along the desired line of weakness, and/or a series of spaced apart slits that extend partially into and/or completely through the material along the desired line of weakness, or various combinations of these features.
- one type of tear line is in the form of a series of spaced apart slits that extend completely through the material, with adjacent slits being spaced apart slightly so that a nick (e.g., a small somewhat bridging-like piece of the material) is defined between the adjacent slits for typically temporarily connecting the material across the tear line. The nicks are broken during tearing along the tear line.
- the nicks typically are a relatively small percentage of the tear line, and alternatively the nicks can be omitted from or torn in a tear line such that the tear line is a continuous cut line. That is, it is within the scope of the present disclosure for each of the tear lines to be replaced with a continuous slit, or the like.
- a cut line can be a continuous slit or could be wider than a slit without departing from the present disclosure.
- a fold line can be any substantially linear, although not necessarily straight, form of weakening that facilitates folding therealong. More specifically, but not for the purpose of narrowing the scope of the present disclosure, fold lines include: a score line, such as lines formed with a blunt scoring knife, or the like, which creates a crushed or depressed portion in the material along the desired line of weakness; a cut that extends partially into a material along the desired line of weakness, and/or a series of cuts that extend partially into and/or completely through the material along the desired line of weakness; and various combinations of these features. In situations where cutting is used to create a fold line, typically the cutting will not be overly extensive in a manner that might cause a reasonable user to incorrectly consider the fold line to be a tear line.
- glue is intended to encompass all manner of adhesives commonly used to secure carton panels in place, and is not intended to exclude heat, chemical, or frequency bonding techniques.
